“Primrose Cottage was a beautiful home from home with everything I needed for my 5 day stay.”

Excellent contact from Rhian about getting there, key collecting and parking ( I used St Gluvias car park which is free and a short walk, although there is a hill involved if you're carrying stuff).

Excellent contact from Rhian about getting there, key collecting and parking ( I used St Gluvias car park which is free and a short walk, although there is a hill involved if you're carrying stuff). The bed was so comfy I slept every night, the kitchen well equipped for cooking and washing up, the courtyard smelt beautiful with the jasmine and the banana tree was impressive! Excellent quality and good value for money. Thank you.

“A friend and I spent a wonderful week in Primrose Cottage in Penryn.”

The cottage was, as expected, charming, well equipped and clean and matched the photos on the website. The beds were very comfortable and were equipped with nice bedlinen. The hosts had provided a bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee as a welcome gift and there was also a useful information pack. There was a slight issue on arrival and the hosts responded immediately when contacted. The neighbours, in the house to which the cottage is attached, were at times very noisy at night, which was especially difficult in the main bedroom. In an area where houses are terraced (frontage on the street ) with cottages attached at the back - down little alleys - it would be unrealistic to expect complete peace and quiet, but this was really quite disruptive some nights and spoilt some of the holiday experience. Whilst Penryn town is tiny, it is close to Falmouth, where you are spoilt for choice re shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Penryn does, however, have a couple of great fish and chips shops, a few pubs and a small supermarket conveniently located close to the cottage. The one niggle is the extremely difficult parking situation which resulted in us thinking twice about using the car in the evenings. The option is to use local taxis. However, parking is an issue throughout Cornwall and one that cannot be solved by the owners of the cottage. All in all, a very lovely week in a very pretty cottage located in such a beautiful part of the country.

“Very clean well kept cottage , just hampered by the lack of parking.”

“We enjoyed our stay at Primrose Cottage very much.”

This is such a beautiful part of the country with lots to do and places to explore. The cottage was warm and cosy, with the log burner a real treat for us. The cottage was very dog friendly and the secure garden, although small, was just right. People walking past the cottage down the alley way was a bit unsettling for the dog who barked at everyone who went past. The sofa wasn't the most comfortable but it didn't really matter because we didn't spend much time on it anyway. The range of places to eat and drink within easy walking distance was great.
Mrs Cooper August 2018

“The cottage is really well appointed and thought out, including a couple of stair gates for confining a dog in one area or keeping it downstairs.”

It's in a very good location – within easy reach of loads of places of interest and walking distance from Lidl and Sainsbury's, and Falmouth if you don't mind a bit more of a walk. The owners are extremely friendly, efficient and helpful, and we were very happy with every aspect of the rental process. However, if you have a dog who will get upset and bark when it hears people walking past, then this may be an issue since there is a pathway that passes very close to the cottage, so anybody walking or talking is audible. It really isn't busy (at all), but our pup did have a bit of a woof every time he did hear people, and a more neurotic dog would probably find it a bit stressful. This is true of any cottage in a town or village location of course, and is not intended as a criticism, just a comment on our experience that will probably mean I'll pick somewhere more rural next time to avoid nighttime barking.

“Great house with a great welcome from the owners.”
Mrs North July 2018

“Cottage was simply beautiful, only thing l need to say is that looking at the picture content looked like both bedrooms were of the same hence why l partly chose it , little bit disappointing to find that the second bedroom was a lot smaller and completely different .”

Apart from that it was lovely.
Mr Boorne July 2018

“The cottage was well equipped very clean and perfect for our holiday”
Mr Cuthbert June 2018

“They have obviously just installed Netflix, when trying to use it kept asking if we wanted a months free subscription, needs sorting, otherwise nice cottage in a run down area, problem with noisy neighbours at night, however not a lot anybody can do about it.”

Further along the Penryn River, just one mile towards the sea you’ll find the famous seaport of Falmouth, with a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries offering spectacular views, stunning Blue Flag beaches and a bustling town centre.
